My Problem

I was replacing the front panel of my dad's iPad after he dropped and cracked it and in the process ripped the original antenna due to general carelessness and a lack of planning

My Fix

The new antenna itself went in smooth as silk. Getting the front panel off is not something I particularly want to do again, but swapping out the antenna was just a case of "screw this in here, here, here, and here and pop this attachment onto the logic board." Then once I verified it worked I went back and undid it so I could sticky it in place and repeated the connection process

My Advice

Once you get the front panel off the antenna goes in really easily. Getting the front panel off is much easier when you use a small screwdriver that's been filed on one side to make a small chisel. A metal screwdriver is much stronger than the plastic opening tools and won't bend.

It's time to speak out for your right to repair

Dear Minnesotans,

Right now, Minnesota has a chance to pass the first Fair Repair bill in the nation.
We have a chance to guarantee our right to repair electronics—like smartphones, computers, and even farm equipment.
We have a chance to help the environment and stand up for local repair jobs—the corner mom-and-pop repair shops that keep getting squeezed out by manufacturers.

We've been working with local repair companies, non-profit refurbishers, and tech-savvy politicians to come up with a solution. And they've done just that — Minnesota is the first state to consider a Fair Repair Bill.

If you agree with us, find out who represents you in the Minnesota House of Representatives.
Tell them you support the bipartisan Fair Repair Bill, HF 1048. Tell them that you believe repair
should be fair, affordable, and accessible.
